 We've all heard time and again that chocolate, hamburgers, french fries and many other foods cause acne. We also have heard that all this is a myth and fiction. So who to believe?
Some dermatologists do claim that there is no connection between diet and acne is not there. Ostensibly studies on this subject are inconclusive.
However, none of cosmetologists no doubt to the fact that "our skin, for the most part - that's what we eat", but to prove it is quite difficult. To investigate the problem, you need to spend a lot of measurements, to have enough control groups ... And yet in recent years there was enough research to show that the link between food and acne - not a myth. And there
foods that trigger acne
:
1. Processed carbohydrates
In 2002, the publication Archives of Dermatology published strong evidence that certain foods cause acne. It turned out that acne - it is a disease of technical progress. Scientists then studied 1,200 people from Papua New Guinea and 115 - from eastern Paraguay. These are people who are still eating fresh plant foods and fresh meats. Surprisingly, these people have never experienced the problems of acne, in a lifetime they did not have a single pimple.
You say that things in the genes. But this argument was rejected by scientists. Because the people from these countries falling into the so-called "Western" conditions, where they started to use make-up, cosmetics, diet was full of carbohydrates and saturated fats - in these circumstances, they become acne occur. Perhaps the environment also played a role here, but scientists insist that the relationship with the board directly.
Eating foods with a high glycemic index trigger acne - that's the conclusion of scientists. This refined grain products such as bread, as well as with high sugar content. These products cause a surge in insulin levels, which in turn leads to an increase of sebum and clogged pores. Solution: Go for fruits, vegetables, whole grains and lean meats, and semi-finished products do not consume sweets.
2. Fried
Omaha dermatologist and founder of the site lovelyskin.com, Dr. Joel Schlessinger says such a thing as "pimples McDonald's." According to his observations, the staff who work on fryers, almost all have problems with the skin. Apparently, because often they eat so that they themselves prepared. He also argues that the burgers and pizza - the main enemies of those who are prone to acne.
3. Dairy products
In 2005, there were published the results of a grand study. Diet has been studied 47,355 American women. And found a link between consumption of dairy products and acne. For dairy include not only milk, but also cheese, sour cream, cottage cheese. These researchers surveyed 4273 adolescent boy, and they also had obviously proved that milk causes acne outbreaks.
Why is this happening? For thousands of years people have consumed milk. The reason - the peculiarities of modern milk purchased. That is, from the organic product is likely to be no problems. That milk, which is sold in stores, most of it is produced by pregnant cows, however milk contains high levels of hormones that affect the activity of the sebaceous glands. It is a progesterone and degidroprogesterone.
Therefore, to stop acne, sometimes enough to eliminate from the diet of milk, cheese and dairy products. Doctors are advised to go to the almond milk, though it in our stores is quite difficult to find.
4. Chocolate
The connection between acne and chocolate can also be regarded as proven. Research undergone male between 18 and 35 years with mild acne who were given chocolate bars and chocolate as a snack. And if the baseline number of people suffering from acne had an average of 2 to 7. That end of the study the rate jumped to 18, 2. More has been found that the greater the patient ate chocolate, the more spots had jumped out.
But there is good news. It turned out that the chocolate does not cause acne, but only activates it from those who have this addiction. Therefore, if you do not have acne, then you chocolate is safe and even beneficial, because it lowers blood pressure, improves brain function.
Can a diet to cure acne?
However, studies about the harmful products, the researchers found, and then what diet would be most effective against acne and blackheads. Here's a list of the best products:
- Omega-3 fatty acids found in salmon and additive "fish oil").
- Antioxidants such as vitamins A, C and E, as well as flavonoids, found in red wine, colored fruktahi vegetables, green tea (all of these products may have anti-inflammatory effect on the skin).
- Selenium and zinc can also be useful.
- Foods high in fiber.
What to do if you suspect that you have acne on the power? Doctors are advised to keep a food diary and spend a little time on the observation. You will need to turn to remove from the diet of harmful products (processed carbohydrates, milk, chocolate, etc.) for a period of 4 weeks (ie, observations may be delayed for six months), and look at the results. Then you can say for sure is the cause of your acne diet.
